Hotels near Monumento a Carlos Gardel, Medellin

Hotel near main road, if you go with children and use stroller it is a bit complicated due to the steep slopes due to the geography of the area, when you arrive they give you a welcome cocktail for adults (not very good) and ice cream for children , in general the breakfast is quite abundant and good, we were only one night for a connection flight, the international airport is about 1 hour

We stayed at the hotel for three days. I specifically was looking for a hotel with a gym and our travel agent said this was the best place. -The check in process was very slow as they don’t have enough people at the front desk. -Our room was nice, but they only provide shampoo and soap. When I asked for body lotion, as most other hotels of this rating provide, I was told no. - Calling to the front desk results in no one answering the phone, thus I had to go downstairs several times to ask questions. -The gym itself is old and disgusting. Overlooking the pool deck is the cardio area. They had 1 of 3 treadmills working, ellipticals with no power, and spin bikes that were extremely rusted and hard to adjust for fit. The weight room floor is also filthy and I don’t think it was cleaned the entire time we were there. The weight and machines are all rusted. For dumbbells there was one set of 10s, 1 twenty and the rest were over 30 lbs. Some of the dumbbells were coming apart creating a dangerous situation of a weight slipping off and dropping on your head or foot. -We had breakfast included and the food and service were good. However, We ordered room service one evening for dinner and the food arrived after an hour and a half. It was cold and tasted horribly. - they have motion sensors in the hallway to conserve energy, which is good. However the don’t often work and several times I got off the elevator and had to navigate a pitch black hallway to my room. I would never recommend this hotel. It claims to be 4 star but it is in disguise with a fancy lobby.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel while in Medellin for four days. We absolutely loved it. The service was incredible. From the moment we arrived at the front desk, the bell boys, the service of the restaurant every morning for breakfast and when we went for dinner, and even at the pool. Every interaction we had with the employees of the hotel was wonderful. The room was beautiful, clean and the view was spectacular. It is in walking distance of many restaurants, a mall and the Poblado Park. We also walked to and from the Poblado metro station a few different times. When you need a taxi, the employees are happy to quickly call one for you. I highly recommend this hotel. We will most definitely stay again the next time we come back to Medellin.

What a great experience. We booked a single room up high floors and the experience was amazing. First thing to mention is the check-in experience. Staff made a huge effort to speak Portuguese when I speak Spanish and English perfectly, just to make me feel at home. They gave me a really nice room, with huge windows and a spacious bathroom, as big as the bedroom itself. Breakfast is a bit disappointing but it's something I don't mind. Also we had a half-price beer at the rooftop where you can see everything. I had a great time there, indeed. The hotel is also situated in the best part of the city. Many restaurants, bars, pubs... many options for leisure around.

This is my second stay at this property. I really enjoyed my first stay and though this could be somewhere that I could book for longer than a week. I booked a double room last time and enjoyed my stay this time I booked a single room but would not return. The single room is a lot smaller than the double and I paid the same price as last time so value for money for this was not so great. View is great, amenities good, no AC and it gets hot in the room. Decent breakfast and friendly staff. The big issue for me on the last 2 nights was a club down the street playing music so loud that I could feel the bass 10 floors up and this went on until 4am. This was Monday and Tuesday night! So hot room as can’t open the window with the music, fan on full, white noise from tv at full volume and ear plugs is not what I’m looking for. I could not return if the bar continues like that. Previous stay no issues, first 5 nights no issues, but this is a big problem for me. I am so thankful I didn’t book the month I was contemplating and left after a week. A double room without the noise at the right price I would return.

Beautiful design, very new facility. Room very clean, although a bit small, but perfect for a night stay. Excellent service and location. Breakfast area is one of the best in a breakfast included rate. Many options, good quality, the terrace was really nice, and the service provided a plus. A total recommended place to stay.

We would have rated this hotel at 5* but a checking out issue spoilt the whole stay for us! Yes the room needed a little attention - the shower nozzle hung down out of the ceiling, the shower handle came off the temperature regulator every time you adjusted it, the toilet seat kept falling down & had to be held up for me (male!),, the toilet itself was not fixed equi distant in the space between the shower screen & the wall & made sitting on it uncomfortable as you would then be squashed ........but none of these were major & would not have impacted our stay very seriously. We enjoyed the breakfast & the staff, generally were very good & helpful Upon checking out, we left a 50,000 COP tip. Then, On getting into our taxi, we were called back to be told we needed to pay 50,000 COP for a ”broken door key card”. The previous evening the door card did not work & it was replaced with nothing at that time being said. Now apparently we had ”damaged” it I refused to pay & said if they wanted the money to take it from the 50,000 COP tip I have stayed in hundreds of hotels using electronic key cards & if they ever had a problem, they were reprogrammed or replaced without issue Never have I encountered this situation before & I was annoyed & very disappointed that after a great stay, this was how it ended. As I said, this would probably have been a 5* review.....

Others are satisfied, whether it is the decoration environment or the service attitude is very good, the only bad thing is that there is no disposable toiletries, especially no disposable slippers.

The hotel room was beautiful and Gustavo was very helpful! We were not a fan of the limited hotel amenities offered in the room everything had to be purchased and the bar and pool were always closed during our stay (even though reception said it was open). At times it felt like staying at a hostel. There was noise above either construction or moving of furniture in the mornings. The breakfast was extremely expensive so try to get it when you book your room or go to the mall to eat. The 'king' bed is more like a full bed so take that into consideration. The hotel had a lot going on and seemed very busy especially on floor PP where they had an exhibit with a lot of people and limited space.

We had a wonderful time staying at Hotel Lagoon. The food at the restaurant was superb and we were never disappointed with any of the menu items. The staff, particularly Carlos and Isabella, were always friendly and always went the extra mile for us whenever we needed anything. We truly enjoyed the newly built outdoor lounge areas next to the pool with the firepit. This was one of the best experiences we had at the hotel and a must if you wish to keep warm on a chilly night. Conveniently located near the airport (MDE) and about a 45-50 min drive into Medellin. There are a lot of places to eat nearby as well as a few shopping centers. Would come back again!
